This Day in Wrestling History
This day 14 years ago during a low point of the Monday Night Wars, WCW went a little to far with a certain match. Sting vs Rick Steiner was a match on the card for the Television Title and it was a Falls Count Anywhere Match. This match took place at the Great American Bash 1999 live on PPV but it wasn't the match that was a problem. Most people thought this match would be good because of who is in it Sting & Rick Steiner two of the better workers the company had left. But not tonight as during the match they went backstage and when the camera found them they found Sting being attacked not by another wrestler. He was being attacked by dogs some of which were led in by Scott Steiner.
This was a definite low point of the Monday Night Wars and for WCW because they pulled this stunt and they are lucky Sting didn't get severely injured from the stunt. The ending of match saw "one of the dogs" pin Sting which gave Rick Steiner the win. Does anyone if a dog really pinned Sting nope, but does anyone really care I don't think so either. The Main Event of the show saw Randy Savage challenge World Champion Kevin Nash for the title but lose via DQ. The DQ came when Sid Vicious returned to the WCW after 6 years away from the company as Randy's bodyguard.
I guess in away this show might have told the future for the outlandish things WCW would later do and get away with. But they'd also hurt the WCW banner to know end and to this day most people can't figure out why WCW did half of things they did.
